人算不如天算

(English version here)

算起来，我结婚也有几年了。最常被问的就是：“几时添丁发财啊？”（我的答案通常是：“发财之后才能添丁⋯⋯” 呵呵～）

老公呢，是很爱小孩的。从他跟侄子侄女玩耍时看得出来。但是，我却认为我并不够条件身为人母。上梁不正，下梁歪嘞～ 呵呵～

不过，婚姻毕竟是两个人的事，看到老公那么喜欢小孩子，我也该尽量成全他的心意，让他有自己的骨肉疼。当然，不能说生就生嘛！有轻微操控狂的我，就先拟定好‘生育大计’⋯⋯

（壹）若是无差错，我的夜间课程会在2007年底完成。所以，2008年头就能开始努力‘做人’。

（贰）在2008年来临之前的6个月，老公和我都得好好照顾身子，这样才能尽量在最佳状况下尝试受孕。所以计划实行开始是2007年7月。

（叁）为求提高精子素质，我‘下令’老公得开始减少吸烟次数。最少也得减一半。而且禁止他在我面前抽烟。

（肆）叶酸（folic acid）在整个过程中是非常重要的，能够防止许多胎儿缺陷。所以我也开始吃含多种维生素的维他命丸。

（伍）曾在时代杂志上读过这样的一篇报道：数据显示，若是一对夫妇在尝试生育之前，有射精入子宫的习惯，那这对夫妇的成功受孕几率会提高。研究员猜测，这可能是因为母体已‘认识’这个人的精子，所以精子或胚胎不会被视为异体而受排斥。

坏就坏在这最后一点。我认定老公既是烟客，工作又时常接触污染物品，精子素质应该偏差。所以2007年7月13日（黑色星期五），虽然知道我正值排卵期，仍然在毫无保护措施状况下，⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯⋯

人算不如天算啊，第一炮正中红心⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ ⋯⋯ 囧rz（彩票又不见得有这么准？！）

正式宣布，我已从‘煮’妇升级（还是降级）为孕妇～

花絮（壹）：
我：别的孕妇在怀孕期间听莫扎特、萧邦等。我听的将是 Guns N Roses 的 Sweet Child O' Mine。
老公：OK 呀～
我：这就是为什么我们不应该有孩子的理由之一⋯⋯ -_-"

花絮（贰）：
老公：居然敢小看我的精子～ 哼哼哼～
我：得意个什么劲儿啊⋯⋯ -_-"

花絮（叁）：
刚‘发表’完胚胎是男是女的理论猜测之后，
我：这些你都不知道吧？
老公：所以我娶个聪明的老婆，你知道就行啦～
我：（喃喃自语）再聪明也没想到会‘一炮就中’⋯⋯
老公：（沾沾自喜，偷笑ing）

Man proposes, God disposes

（中文版在此）

I've been married for quite a few years now. The question that is most frequently asked of me is : When are we having kids?

My hubby loves kids. You can tell from the way he interacts with his nephews and nieces. As for myself, I do not have the confidence to be a mother. God only knows what kind of kids I will raise... ... ...

But marriage is afterall an affair between 2 persons, not 1. Since my hubby like kids so much, the least I can do for him is to give him his own kid/s to love and pamper. But of course, the control freak in me will not go into such an endeavor with no plans. So here's the outline of the plan :

1. My part-time classes should finish by the end of 2007 if everything goes well. So we can start 'trying' in the beginning of 2008.
2. 6 months before 2008, my hubby and I will have to start taking care of our bodies so that when 2008 comes by, we will be in our best condition to conceive. So the execution of the plan is to start in July, 2007.
3. To improve my hubby's sperm quality, I 'ordered' him to cut down his smoking by at least 50%. Also, he's prohibited from smoking in front of me.
4. Folic acid is a vital nutrient pre-conception and during conception. So I started eating multi-vitamin pills to ensure that I'm getting the necessary nutrients.
5. I read a Times report many moons back that couples, who have a habit of ejaculation of sperm into the womb, have a higher chance of conception when they do try to conceive. Researchers theorized that this may be because the female body 'recognizes' sperm and hence is less likely to reject it or the fertilized embryo.

The last point was the downfall of my meticulous planning. Thinking that my hubby is a smoker and always in contact with pollutants in his work, I figured that his sperm quality can't be all that good. So on Friday, 13 July 2007, we went at 'it' with no protection, even though I knew I was ovulating... ... ...

Man (or in my case, woman) proposes, God disposes... The first shot went straight for the bulls-eye... =x

So I'm officially announcing : I'm 4 foetal weeks pregnant~

P.S. 1 :
Me : Other mothers-to-be listen to Mozart, Chopin during their pregnancy. I think I'll be listening to Guns N Roses 'Sweet Child O' Mine'.
Hubby : Okay what~
Me : This is exactly the reason why we shouldn't have kids... -_-"

P.S. 2 :
Hubby : Look down on my sperm, will ya? Hu hu hu~
Me : Ya lar ya lar~ -_-"

P.S. 3 :
After going on a long theory speculating whether the embryo will be male or female,
Me : You didn't know that did ya?
Hubby : That's why I married a smart woman~ You know can already mah~
Me : (To myself) Smart also not expecting to be successful at the first shot...
Hubby : (Sneakily grinning to himself)
